Daisy the Curly Cat Braves Alligators on Her Florida Strolls
Hey evrybuddy, Skeezix heer. As we rap up Strollin’ Week on The Cat’s Meow, I’m interviewing my speshul frend, Daisy, in Florida. Daisy is an Innernet Sooperstar, authering the award-winning blog, “Daisy the Curly Cat.”
Skeezix: Daisy, it seems like you’ve bin strolling furever. How long exaktly have you bin strolling?
Daisy: Well, my memory is not too good, but I think it has been about two years.
Skeezix: What prompted yer mom to get you a stroller?
Daisy: I first learned about strollering on Catster! And it looked like loads of fun, so I asked my Mommie to get me one. And she said yes!
Skeezix: What model of stroller do you have?
Daisy: Well, first I got a cheap-o model. Right out of the box we realized that it would not be sturdy enough for the distances we wanted to go. Also, the zipper did not work well, and there were big openings where I could almost escape from! So we sent that one back and got the super-duper Jeep Rubicon stroller. Even though we thought this was an awesome stroller, my Mommie had trouble with the steering since the front wheel is fixed. So we donated that one to our local no-kill, cats-only shelter, and they raffled it off during one of their fundraisers. Finally, we ended up with the Pet Gear AT3 stroller. This one is perfect for us because it’s real sturdy, the zipper works easily, and the front wheel can be either fixed or movable. I would definitely recommend it to a friend!
Skeezix: How often do you stroll?
Daisy: Where I live, it is very, very hot and humid many months of the year, so we do not go strollering very much in the warmer months. And there are also many mosquitos. During nice weather, I go a few times a month. I wish I could go every day!
Skeezix: How far do you stroll?
Daisy: We have a real nice sidewalk around our neighborhood that’s perfect for strollering. It’s marked every ½ mile, so you know exactly how far you have gone. We usually go 3 miles. My Mommie can use the exercise!
Skeezix: Do you stroll alone or with other cats in yer howse?
Daisy: I go by myself. I would not want to be enclosed with Harley in the cabin for so long. He’s still a little wild and crazy.
Skeezix: Do all the cats in yer famly like strolling?
Daisy: I LOVE it! After I get back home, I sit by the front door and cry to go out again. Then I sleep in the stroller for most of the day. Harley is still a little bit scairt of it. I hope he is not too embarrassed that I told that.
Skeezix: What do you like most abowt strolling?
Daisy: My favorite thing is seeing all the pretty trees and birds, and feeling the wind in my furs.
Skeezix: Is thare anything you dislike abowt strolling?
Daisy: Sometimes loud cars make me scairted. I have a sleeping bag inside my stroller, and when I get too nervous, I just crawl into the bag and I feel safe. I recommend this for all strollering cats. Unless they are very, very brave and never get scairt.
Skeezix: Have you ever seen any other pets in strollers on yer strolls?
Daisy: I never have! I sure wish I would though.
Skeezix: How abowt wild creechers?
Daisy: I always keep my eyes peeled for alligators! The place we walk is right on the very edge of the Everglades , so we see lots and lots of big birds. Sometimes we see armadillos, opossums, bunnies and little snakes.
Skeezix: Do you only stroll in yer nayberhood, or do you travel to parks or other places to stroll
Daisy: We only stroll around the neighborhood.
Skeezix: Any funny strolling stories you’d like to share?
Daisy: Sometimes, when people see us out strollering, they think there is a baby inside. When they see me, they are very surprised. Many times, they smile real big!

Daisy’s 
Thanks for interviewing me, Skeezix! I am very proud and honored. Strollering is very, very, very fun.
Hello Skeezy, That surely was an interesting interview with Daisy. Bosco is still awaiting his own stroller to come to our home. He’s excited and is a brave cat. Bosco even enjoys to have a dustbuster ran over his coat to pickup the loose ends! He hopes we don’t encounter any vishus deer on his trips. Three of them vishus creatures were right in out front yard this morning.
Oh my goodness! This is so sweet.

Thank you for all your information on strollering details. I’m still trying to get my Mom to get me a stroller!
Great interview, Skeezix and Daisy! I think strollering looks like great fun, but I don’t think Edgar would like it too much – he gets scairted very easily.
Great Interview!
that was a great interview…. If I ever get another cat I’m definitely going to take it strollerin’….I’ll begin it’s training as a kitten so that it gets used to going out and having some fresh air and exercise…I always walk anyway…why not take along a cat…. ?? I jut know they would love to see all the birds…..
What a grate interview, I am rilly trying to convince her about strollering but I is a little bit scared too. You are not only beautiful but you is brave!

Daisy, that was a wonderful interview with Skeezix! Both of you are so lucky and especially brave to get to go strollering … it would probably scare us silly! You have the purrfect neighborhood to go strollering in too, in spite of the alligators … hee hee!

I have always had a big crush on Daisy, but now that I see her cool wheels….sigh.
I wonder if anyone takes their dogs on a leash along with a strollering cat?
What a great interview with Daisy! I’ve seen her in her stroller on her blog but enjoyed learning more about it!
Very interesting interview, Skeezix.
